hey i got an aerogarden 3 and it came with nutes. i plan on using them, if they are good. i read in a few places itll kill the new plant and the oppposite in other places. also, what is the best, cheap nutes i can get from my local stores (kmart, target, petco). but are the nutes the aerogarden comes with good? is wat im mainly looking for. also how often should i use the nutes?

I've been using the standard Herb Nutes just one tablet at a time for Vegging, I am ready for flowering almost and I too would like to know what good nutes I can get locally.

do you mean 1 tablet a day?
From what I've read in the Aerogarden Club thread, it's 1 tablet every 2 weeks, or 1/2 a tablet a week. I think the normal dose is 2 tablets every 2 weeks, but you want to do 1/2 of whatever they suggest in the manual, I think.

I've also heard good things about foxfarm and... some other brand. I think those are more in hydroponic stores - just do a google maps search for hydroponics with your zip code and that should help.

if i run out of my aerogarden nutes, and decide to use another brand, will it shock the plant?

i dont think you will run out of them either, i had the herb kit and used those nutes for 2 grows that turned to be male, and one while grow with some fem clones

ive had mine on tap water from seed untill now day 10, i just added 1/2 of a starter nute tab that came with my herb kit, i think after vegi im gonna look into getting ether the AG tomato nutes or.. maybe... some foxfarm if i turn out getting some good looking girls.


whats your current setup?
seeds?
vegi lights?
flower lights?
what you gonna use for ph control?

EDIT: Does the Herb kit raise your odds at getting males?
how many plants did you have in your grow when you got males?

all done with the aerogarden Nutes .........................
very nice, i was wondering tho.. does it matter if its tomato nutes or herb nutes? b/c in my pack of nutes each lil bag has 2 nutes of the same size, it only came with 2 small ones (starter nutes) and like 20 of the others.


EDIT what lights did you flower with?
